Southern States Symposium 2008
Gainesville, Georgia
The Big Monk Lumber Company
booth at Southern States.  This
was taken during set up on
Friday.  Gotta love the Early
Birds looking for the deals!
Here's Ruth Niles at her booth with Gary Gardner and sharing a hug at my booth.  These
shows wouldn't be nearly as much fun if Ruth wasn't there.
A special offering of Amboyna Burl and
Redwood Lace Burl.  Pretty stuff and
most of it's gone.  Email for particulars
on the remaining pieces.
Work from Betty Scarpino.  These pictures don't do justice to all the tactile 'feel' imparted into
her work.  Great looking stuff.  Be sure to see her if you get a chance.
Who else?  Graeme Priddle's
work displayed in the Instant
Gallery.  At left is his collaboration
with Michael Lee from Hawaii.
John Jordan's easily recognizable
forms in the Instant Gallery.  These
were larger than most of his work that
I've seen.  Very nice.
A selection of platters from BJ Hatcher.
And the star of the show?  Little Charlie, from the Australian Burls booth, courtesy of Jim
Syvertsen.  Ask Ruth if this little guy was cute.
